Our culture and values

Our vision is to enrich our patient, visitor and staff environment by working alongside departments and local communities to enhance our hospitals with inspiring visual design and creativity throughout Frimley Health.

With your help, we enrich the experience of hospital through art and design projects for our patients and visitors as well as supporting the mental well being of our staff. From transforming the hospital environment into more welcoming and comfortable spaces with beautiful works of art to providing music and craft activities that improve patients mood, well being and anxiety, Arts & Creative Health creates a stimulating and uplifting atmosphere for all.

Recent clinical studies show that placing art and creative health within a healthcare environment can reduce levels of anxiety, depression and stress as well as reducing a patient’s length of stay within the hospital. By making a donation or setting up a regular gift today, your donations will enable us to transform the hospital environment across our hospital sites to aid recovery like this for our patients and create more emotionally supported environments for our staff.
